Mount Ogden

August 11, 2019 - Northern Utah

4.2 mi  /  1,214 ft

Mount Ogden has been on my list for a long time, as the only other prominent Northern Wasatch peak I'd done before was Ben Lomond, many years previously. I was a little disappointed to learn that there were radio towers and a freaking helipad on the top...but it's still a relatively cool-looking peak so I decided tolerate this "ruined" summit and do it anyway. As it turns out you can gain most of the elevation by taking the Snowbasin gondola. :) Also, I saw a rattlesnake at the summit (nearly stepped on it, in fact) and snapped a few pics of it...zoomed all the way in, of course.
